I noticed today my bluetooth wont start. I've run into this before, but I don't know how I fixed it. Using switchpro, cyanogenmod pull down or settings, bluetooth won't turn on. It says updating bluetooth settings, but then never turns on. Has anyone run into this?

Rooted Eris, with Nonsensikal.

If you have any remembered devices under the BT settings, delete them and see if it helps.

If that doesn't work go into menu > settings > applications > manage applications > all
Then 'clear data' under Bluetooth Share.

I'm using Nonsensikal and the BT works fine (use it nearly every day), so I'm sure it's not a problem with the ROM itself.

Somehow my battery died last night, even though it usually never does, and now everything works fine.

Also, you can't delete remember devices unless bluetooth is turned on.

Well, the problems are back. I tried clearing the bluetooth share from titanium backup, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

I've gotten this randomly on various roms, reboot always works.

Well it's working again, but for me rebooting never works. Just waiting a while(when I no longer need it) fixes it.

I'm having this problem a lot on GSB 1.7, seemed better on GSB 1.5. Now I've found that rebooting doesn't fix, but clearing Dalvik cache does. Still this is not something I want to do every time I get in the car.

I can't be the only person with this problem?

I just bought an expensive pair of bluetooth earbuds. Went to connect them to my Verizon Android Eris for the first time, and the checkbox to enable bluetooth wouldn't work! I thought I would have to return my headset, until I came across something of a solution here. Thanks much to IzelTokatl for hinting that a reboot would work, because that did work! First I tried mhotovec's recommendation of clearing data, and thank you for the idea but that didn't work. I wish it would have, because although rebooting did work, it doesn't sound like a solid long-term "fix." At any rate, this bluetooth wireless headset thing is awesome! Hoping to eliminate stress at work with some unobtrusive music. This may also pay benefits with hands-free telephone calls, hadn't thought of it in that light. Thanks all for posting to this topic! -bbq
